I’ve spent SO much time playing through the main AO storyline and here are just a few changes I thought would be impactful and provide quality of life to new and old players alike.
Change 1
During the red wake required story quest where you have to make a meal. Remove this requirement if a player had already completed the chef’s quest.
Reason: Tedious/Repetitive
Change 2
Have a player cook fish-based food at the Fishing for Frostmill quest after catching 4 fish.
Dialogue after catching 4 fish and returning to quest-giver:
“Wow, that’s a good haul! I didn’t even know we could get some of those around here. Now, I heard that you’ve been in quite a few battles and I want to give you some advice. Fish based-foods help you recover from your wounds faster. Why not try it out by making a meal with fish?”
Reason: Teaches players about recovery-based foods.
Change 3
Warren should inform the player that they should cook invigorating and energizing food before climbing the stepstones.
Dialogue:
“As much as I don’t trust you… I don’t want you to exhaust yourself and perish. Take these fruits and mushrooms. Make a meal out of them before you ascend the cliff.”
Also add a cooking pot to the bottom of the stepstones
Reason: Teaches players about invigorating and energizing foods.
